I'd like to search for a phrase that contains the quote character. I've tried
escaping the quote character, but am receiving a ParseException from the
QueryParser:

For example to search for the phrase:

     this is a "test"

I'm trying the following

     QueryParser.parse("field:\"This is a \\\"test\\\"\"", "field", new StandardAnalyzer());

This results in:

org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Lexical error at line 1, column 31.  Encountered: <EOF> after : ""
at org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser.parse(QueryParser.java:111)
at org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser.parse(QueryParser.java:87)
        ...

What is the proper way to accomplish this?

I am having this same problem, but cannot find any help!

I have a keyword field that sometimes includes double quotes, but I am unable to search for that field because the escape for a quote doesnt work!

I have tried a number of things:

myfield:"lucene is \"cool\""

AND

myfield:"lucene is \\"cool\\""
